The grey tide


Not as bad as some collectors... but still, it's starting to stack up.

I don't horde models. Generally, I have two or three options going at once, so that if I get bored, I can change gears. (see this month's switch from Necrons to Space Marines) But lately, things have been accumulating. Let's see what we've got.

Still haven't finished these close combat terminators. Started second guessing the color scheme against my main force, and then the holiday hit.


Also need to finish this land raider, which means a trip to the shop to exchange the stupid miscast part. :(


Aaaaand here's the rest of the Necron force I bought on craigstlist. There's a battleforce box.


The command barge / annihilation barge kit.


And the Lychguard I bought to turn into lords and crypteks.


Oh, yeah, digging through my box, I found this - another set of close combat terminators. Probably just ebay these. I dunno.


Add to this, the new tyranid kits I want to get, including the drop pod (x2) and the venom/zoan thrope kit, and it's beginning to pile up. Turns out, when you have a kid, a ton of your free time disappears. Who knew?

Anyone else getting buried under the tide?
